KIBRA genetic polymorphism influences episodic memory in later life, but does not increase the risk of mild cognitive impairment

Abstract excerpt

A common T-->C polymorphism of the KIBRA gene has been recently associated with worse performance on tests of episodic memory. This should aimed to determine whether older adults with the KIBRA CC genotype (1) have worse episodic memory than T-allele carriers and, (2) are more likely to express the phenotype of amnestic mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Our Cross-sectional investigation of 312 adults aged 50-89...
